Our Country '".; Right or Wrong KEEP THE CIGARET TAX There has been a lot of talk going on here of late to call a special session of the legisla- ture for the main purpose of repealing the state cigaret tax due to the fact that revenues are piling up in the state's cash box faster than they can be spent. We say keep the cigaret tax. When the tax law was enacted at the last session of the legislature it was the belief that, due to the war, racing would be discon- tinued in Florida and the state would lose ,a large source of revenue. However, such has not been the case. And on top of that, the cigaret tax is bringing in considerable riore than was anticipated. Okeh, we have more money than we know what to do with. If we're going to have a special legislative session, let's devote part of it to allocating all that surplus cash. And we know three places where it is needed badly. The school teachers of Florida are sadly underpaid. Use part of the surplus to boost their wages by increasing the teacher unit appropriation. FOR STATE SENATOR Our old people dependent on the state for This is to announce to the peo- ple of the 25th Senatorial District, their small monthly stipend could be granted comprised of the Counties of Bay, an increase, and the federal government con- Calhoun, Gulf and Washington, that I am a candidate for the of- sequently would increase its appropriation for fice of State Senator; subject to old age assistance a like amount. the action of the voters in the Primary to be held in May, 1944. And then there's the matter of aid to the Respectfully, linedd and dependent children. An increase 0. E. HOBBS, along these lines wouldn't hurt at all, at all. We feel sure that cigarct smokers would not object to continuance of the tax, now that they've become accustomed to paying it, and those few extra pennies they contribute each month-not a great burden on any one person-can bring so much cheer and joy to so many other persons if it is properly allo- cated. Again we say, let's keep the cigaret tax. PUBLISH CITY STATEMENT A number of interested people have asked the publisher of The Star from time to time why we don't publish a monthly state- ment of the city's finances so that the people TO SAFEGUARDI may know just how their tax money is being YOUR HEALTH spent. To which we reply that to our knowl- edge such a statement is not issued monthly drugs and chemicals we use in com- by our city officials, and even if it were, it pounding your physician's prescription are ensured by the vigilant chemists of would be required that the city have it nub- Control Laboratories. Even during the manufacture of a simple pro4uict a score lished in the form of advertising, or more of exacting tests for purity are made. Thus, we compound prescriptions For a time, shortly after B. W. Eells took 'with full confidence in the reliability of his seat on the board of city commissioners, the ingredients your physician prescribes, such a monthly statement was published in We use MerckPrescnpflon Chemicals The Sentinel and, we understand, was perused Smith's Pharmacy with interest by the taxpayers. However, for Phone 5 Port St. Joe the past two years, or since Mr. Eells' seat was filled on the board by B. B. Conklin, no monthly statemeints for the edification of the dear people has been forthcoming. Consequently, since some of our taxpayers deem it wise and request it, we rise to sug- gest that the city resume its monthly publi- cation of a financial statement. It is done in K enn ey other cities, and apparently without any seri- ous consequences. Send The Star to your man in the service-only $1 for a year.
